R2C7 is the only square in row 2 that can be <3>

R2C3 is the only square in row 2 that can be <7>

R2C5 is the only square in row 2 that can be <8>

R1C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <9>

R7C8 is the only square in column 8 that can be <2>

R4C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <5>

Intersection of row 5 with block 5. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R5C4, R5C5 and R5C6 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R4C4 - removing <9> from <23489> leaving <2348>

R4C5 - removing <9> from <24679> leaving <2467>

R4C6 - removing <9> from <23469> leaving <2346>

Intersection of column 7 with block 9. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R8C7 and R9C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R7C9 - removing <6> from <146> leaving <14>

R9C9 - removing <6> from <4678> leaving <478>

Squares R7C9 and R8C8 in block 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R8C7 - removing <1> from <16> leaving <6>

R9C9 - removing <4> from <478> leaving <78>
